But relatively speaking, the thing Yang Ming wanted the most—Faya's "game" civilization direct promotion voucher, this experimental project couldn't give him.

"Is there anything to hesitate about?"

Little Po Suo suddenly spoke,

"Do you know how many people die on average for a new biochemical modification technology in the Empire? Sixty-five thousand, and that doesn't include the injured.

"The Valkyrie Plan in the twelve years I'm aware of killed over a thousand test subjects participating in experiments.

"Injecting high-dimensional microorganisms into the body at least doesn't lead to instant death.

"With the pretext of fighting the Space Worm Clan, you could even openly recruit volunteers."

"It's different," Yang Ming shook his head, "I still want to maintain a bit of a moral baseline so that I won't completely lose myself in this abyss of the Galaxy."

Little Po Suo retorted, "That's conservative, old-fashioned thinking; scientific research sometimes requires being almost ruthlessly cold."

"Boss, human society itself is cruel."

Lyu said softly,

"Based on the high-magnitude sample cases I've researched, I've concluded that there are two misconceptions in human individuals' understanding of human society.

"One is that good people get good rewards, and the other is that bad people will all be punished.

"Take campus bullying as an example, eighty-five percent of bullies will enter a new phase of life after a while, and happy memories will dilute their thoughts of having bullied others. They will leave campus with a clear conscience, enter society, and maintain relatively excellent social traits, integrating better into the environment.

"Victims of bullying often fall into a dark environment due to psychological trauma, many cannot escape that shadow, and often come to fear the social environment, thereby losing to those bullies.

"This is quite an interesting phenomenon.

"'Good people get good rewards' is a form of propaganda, 'bad people will be punished' only appears in art."

Yang Ming was at a loss for words.

He raised his hand to cover his forehead, lying on the sofa to clear his mind, trying to relax as much as possible.

Nearby, Hera suddenly bent over and retched a few times, her body lightly trembling, slipping off the sofa, only to be caught by Yang Ming by the arm.

"What's wrong? Feeling unwell?" Yang Ming frowned and asked.

026 hurriedly handed over a glass of water, and the maid robot rushed to the area.

Hera tightly pressed her lips together, her face turning somewhat pale, with slight blood streaks appearing in her eyes, turning her head to look at Yang Ming.

The two of them locked gazes for a few seconds; Hera said in a low voice, "It's all arranged by the high-dimensional civilization."

"What?"

"It's all arranged by the high-dimensional civilization!"

Hera said with a trembling voice,

"Human beings can't coexist with high-dimensional microorganisms, Professor Pat and his team experimented on humans... I accidentally swallowed a collected sample... There's only one explanation, this is very likely arranged by the high-dimensional civilization."

"Hera, calm down first."

"We are the bugs," Hera slumped there slowly, her voice hoarse and screaming, "We are the bugs."

Little Po Suo rolled her eyes beside her, muttering softly, "Dramatic."

Yang Ming made a gesture for silence, but Little Po Suo only shrugged, emptied the fruit platter in front of her, and started targeting those drinks.

Lyu folded her arms, quietly watching Hera and Po Suo.

The two of them were actually quite similar.

...

Perhaps it was due to experiencing many ups and downs; Hera quickly adjusted her state.

She took only half an hour to accept the fact that her growth path was under the dual intervention of the Insect Queen and the high-dimensional human civilization.

How did she accept it?

Yang Ming probably knew a bit of it; he heard Hera muttering a few words, "So I am the most special."

And regarding the experimental project given by the Faya people, he also had to make a decision quickly.

To take it or not to take it.

That indeed was a problem.

The temporary decision-making group composed of Yang Ming, Lyu, Hera, Little Po Suo, and 026 went over all the issues;

Finally, they found that all the technical problems could be solved, and the resources they needed to expend wouldn't be too great. As long as a three-thousand-meter-class giant research ship could be built, the technical problems could be smoothly solved.

The benefits they could gain mainly focused on the technology provided by the Faya people, which would greatly enhance the Dark Star.

Now, the only point of contention lay in human experimentation.

The experiment was expected to use anywhere from six hundred to six thousand humans, with no upper limit set.

Because of this, Yang Ming felt a lot of pressure.

This was related to the education he received as a child; his thinking originated in his old hometown, making it somewhat difficult for him to accept such "freewheeling" research concepts.

026 quietly asked, "Is there any way to circumvent this ethical issue?"

"There are three schemes."

Lyu said softly,

"The first is death row prisoners; this can minimize psychological burden.

"The second is cloned samples; many experiments actually tacitly agree to use cloned samples, but cloned samples need to be destroyed promptly.

"The third is hire at a high price; generally, the cost is enormous, and confidentiality is very poor."

Hera raised her hand, saying, "The cloned sample scheme is the most feasible; I can provide cell samples, which might enhance the efficiency of the experiment."

Lyu said softly, "We need each individual to have abundant human desires; cloned samples have no advantage in this regard."

"Sigh, you want technology without bearing the burden of conscience's reproach."

Yang Ming lay there with his arm as a pillow, sighing softly:

"The problem is, the technology we could gain doesn't offer much help for my current sole objective.
